Abstract
A flare stack operating on the Coanda principle in which provision is made for cooling of a Coanda body terminating the gas flue by a flow of cooling fluid within the Coanda body. The pressure in the flare stack is held constant by a mechanism disposed outside of the main flue of the flare stack.
Claims7
A Coanda flare, comprising:
- a gas flue having a flare end;
- a Coanda body disposed adjacent the flare end to form an adjustable annular gap between the Coanda body and the flare end of the gas flue, such that gas emitted from the flare end passes through the annular gap and around the Coanda body;
- and
- the Coanda body being fluid cooled.

A Coanda flare, comprising:
- a gas flue having a flare end;
- a Coanda body disposed adjacent the flare end to form an adjustable annular gap between the Coanda body and the flare end of the gas flue, such that gas emitted from the flare end passes through the adjustable annular gap and around the Coanda body;
- and
- the Coanda body being fluid cooled by a cooling fluid supply conduit leading into the Coanda body for supply of cooling fluid to the Coanda body and a cooling fluid removal conduit leading out from the Coanda body for removal of cooling fluid from the Coanda body.

A Coanda flare, comprising:
- a gas flue having a flare end;
- a Coanda body disposed adjacent the flare end to form an adjustable annular gap between the Coanda body and the flare end of the gas flue, such that gas emitted from the flare end passes through the adjustable annular gap and around the Coanda body;
- the Coanda body being fluid cooled by a cooling fluid circuit having a cooling fluid supply conduit leading into the Coanda body for supply of cooling fluid to the Coanda body and a cooling fluid removal conduit leading out from the Coanda body for removal of cooling fluid from the Coanda body;
- the cooling fluid supply conduit and the cooling fluid removal conduit being connected to the gas flue by a joint that permits relative movement of the combination of Coanda body and cooling fluid circuit in relation to the gas flue;
- and
- a tensioning device connected to the joint to provide constant back pressure on the gas in the gas flue.
